Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping

Experience your treatment with James Willis Faces

As we age, the tip of the nose starts to droop. This can be lifted and supported using a small dose of Botox® and a small amount of dermal filler. The width of nostrils is ideally the same as the distance between the inner corners of the eyes. For some clients, the nasal width is greater. This can be refined with a micro treatment of Botox®. Irregularities in the line of the bridge of the nose can be straightened using dermal fillers.

Similarly, asymmetries of the nose can be addressed. By using dermal filler such as Juvederm Ultra, we can reshape and contour the nose to achieve results that were previously only ever possible with plastic surgery. Non-surgical nose reshaping is mainly suitable for those who need refinement of their nose shape – we cannot, of course, make a large nose smaller with this treatment.

The huge benefits of our non-surgical nose job is that the procedure is quick and the results are natural and balanced without having to undergo any invasive surgery. This finally provides patients with a non-surgical option and has proven very popular with those who feel plastic surgery is not right for them.

What is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum toxin is a bacterium that blocks the release of acetylcholine, the substance responsible for transmitting electrical impulses that cause muscle contraction. In medicine, botulinum toxin is injected directly into over-active muscles. It has been safely and effectively used for treatment of strabismus (cross-eye) and blepharospasm (lid spasm) since the early eighties.

What is Botox?

Botox is the leading brand of Botulinum toxin type A, produced by Allergan. It is the only Botulinum toxin licensed for use for frown lines, glabella lines, and crow’s feet. Botox is a highly refined product produced by bacteria that is injected in precise doses to temporarily relax muscle activity.

How does botulinum toxin work?

Over-activity of the facial expression muscles often results in the development of deep frown lines, forehead lines and/or crow’s feet. Injecting botulinum toxin into the affected area temporarily paralyses the underlying muscles responsible for wrinkling, giving the face a more relaxed and pleasant appearance. The wrinkles become smoother or disappear altogether.

Who can benefit from Botox injection treatment?

Botox is generally ideal for anyone concerned about facial wrinkle reduction. Botox treatment produces a fresher, more relaxed look while still allowing facial expression. It is sensible to treat developing lines early before they become too deep set. However, clients of all ages can benefit from treatment.

Is Botox treatment safe?

Yes, the medication has been used for medical procedures for over thirty years without any known long-term problems. Potential rare short-term side effects will be discussed fully at your consultation and ways to minimise these occurrences will be fully explained.

Who should not be treated with Botox injections?

You should not have Botox injections if you are pregnant, breast-feeding or have Lambert Eaton syndrome or Myasthenia Gravis (serious muscle wasting conditions). If you are taking blood-thinning medicines such as Warfarin or a high dose of aspirin, you may be treated but are more likely to experience temporary bruising. You should discuss any medication you’re taking or medical conditions before your treatment.

Is the Botox treatment painful?

No. The medication is injected in very small doses with an ultra-fine needle. It is mildly uncomfortable and doesn’t need any anaesthetic. However, some clients ask us to use a surface skin anaesthetic such as Emla cream, which we are happy to do if this is your preference.

How long does the Botox® injection treatment take?

The initial consultation is open ended but usually takes about half an hour. The actual Botox® treatment often takes less than ten minutes.

If you’re a new patient, we will usually invite you to return for a review after two weeks.

What improvement will I see after wrinkle injection treatment?

You will see the wrinkle reduction in the treated areas looking softer and less obvious. Your face will look younger and more relaxed. The improvement in appearance takes about five days to start and it reaches its optimum after about a fortnight.

Is there anything that I should or shouldn’t do after Botox® treatment?

You should avoid touching the treated area for a few hours. You will need to keep upright immediately after treatment and it is helpful to exercise the treated muscles during the first few hours. The dos and don’ts will be explained in detail during your assessment.

When will I see a difference?

You should notice a difference after about five days. The full effect is seen after two weeks.

How long does the improvement last?

The effects of your treatment should last for between three to six months, depending on your individual response. You may then need a top-up treatment. Subsequent treatments tend to last longer.

Will it leave my face frozen and without expression?

No. We assess the optimum dose to produce a relaxed soft appearance but you will still have facial expression.

Are there any after effects?

Generally, no. Some people may experience slight bruising or swelling immediately after treatment. We will discuss this in detail with you at the time of your consultation.

"I am totally thrilled from the outcome of my appointment today with James. My face looks so much brighter, defined and more symmetrical. The side of my nose that was built up on the right side makes my nose look so much straighter and my profile a lot softer. There is no pain, marks or swelling 6 hours later. James knew exactly what needed improving and did it perfectly. I’m chuffed to bits and will certainly be back. Thanks to both of you, you worked your magic :) x"
